Discography

Lyrics — Lunar Debt

The radio plays songs from someone else

A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist

The radio plays songs from someone else

Rust collects where fingerprints should be

A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain

She writes her will in disappearing ink

Counting shadows on the basement stairs

The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay

The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay

The ceiling drips with questions left on read

He trades his coat for silence and a key

The radio plays songs from someone else
